I paid £49.98 with free shipping, I'd seen the reviews on YouTube "A good beater watch" as they described it as, it keeps good time and is built like a tank, it's got a reputation to keep and lives up to it, all 44mm of it.Nice to see a Duro they are usually way over priced in the UK but $50 in Canada last time I was there..

John where did you get your
www.greatwatches.co.uk although I was assuming the watch was being posted from the UK It wasn't ! it was being shipped from the US and the free shipping thing? They retain the box and instructions and ship in a jiffy bag, a little concerned tripJohn where did you get your Duro from?

Did you pay any import charges?
This arrived the other day, sized the bracelet and refit the spring bar shown in B/W coz the crap lighting and to highlight the somewhat busy dial and rotary slide rule, chuffed to bits with it, chocks away!View attachment 63270View attachment 63270View attachment 63271View attachment 63270View attachment 63270View attachment 63271
It's rumoured that Seiko have / or will be ending production of the flightmaster, you might be right about the Speedmaster, however thanks to The urban gentry on YouTube popularising the Flightmaster or "flighty" in recent times, they've enjoyed a bit of popularity boost of recent. It's probably not sold very well in the past due to it's in the tool watch market and got overlooked, its a marmite watch for sure, but its a diamond in the rough for those folks who like it coz they like me just didn't know of it's existenceI noticed the Speedmaster was back on sale not sure if its back in production or Seiko are clearing out their stocks. A friend and I bought 6 from a US source last year and they went very quick.
It's a busy watch, a slide rule calculator, (the separate instructions for this have 31 pages of examples of it's use with no free paracetamol) compass bearings, chronometer with split time, separate alarm/ difrent time zone(if preferred) date, 200m of water resistance. Seiko are usually known for sensible watches, but they do like to go all-out on occasion letting that 300lb gorilla out the cage for a dust off.All the numbers.
ALL OF THEM!!!
